SLEEP MODE/DISPLAY TIMEOUT (SPECIAL KEY)
To conserve power, the Model 3450 provides a sleep mode. If a key
is not pressed within a set timeout, the gauge turns the display off.
This is the sleep mode. When the gauge sleeps, it does not forget its
previous state or lose data. In the sleep mode, the red light beside
the display flashes. When the gauge is taking counts, the red light
on the right of the display flashes more rapidly until the count is
complete.
NOTE
Increasing or disabling the display time out reduces the
battery life.
The display timeout is the time the gauge waits between keystrokes
before it enters sleep mode. The default display timeout is 30
seconds. To change the display timeout, press
〈6〉 Display Timeout
at the Gauge Setup menu shown on page
3–9.
To select the timeout, use the corresponding number key.
The gauge saves the display time out and returns to the Gauge Setup
menu. Return to the Ready screen by pressing the 〈ESC〉 key.
BATTERY STATUS (SPECIAL KEY)
The Battery Status option displays the status of the charger and the
voltage of the NiCad and alkaline batteries. For more information,
see the Battery Status section on page C–19.
